Severn School is a private, coeducational college preparatory day school for students in preschool through grade twelve, located in Severna Park, MD. We believe in character-driven education and academic excellence fostered by a supportive community that values the dignity, self-worth, and the potential of each individual.

We want every family to understand the whole Severn story before making their choice. Part of our mission is to know and value each and every member of our community. And even if you’re only thinking about applying to Severn, we count you as part of that community. Our admissions experience is built so you get every angle on Severn and we learn more about you through each step.

Every student learns in their own unique way and we offer structured support to help them pave their path to academic success. At the Hoehn-Saric Family Center for Academic Excellence (Learning Resource Center) Severn students develop effective learning skills and strategies, but also a greater self-awareness and confidence in their own ability to learn and grow.

We seek to provide every student with tools to navigate the vast landscape of information beyond our library doors. We provide the very best in relevant online and print materials, curated to meet the academic, creative and personal interests of students and faculty here at Severn.

One of Severn School's defining strengths is its programs in the arts: visual, musical, and dramatic. The level of instruction, of student involvement, and of student achievement, all set the program apart and the range of opportunities available means that every talent finds a place for expression.

The importance of integrity, sportsmanship and personal excellence in a competitive environment are at the core of our athletic program. Every lacrosse game, tennis match, and sailing competition is a learning lab. Through them, our students learn to commit; to work toward long-term goals, make good decisions, and even as the pressure mounts, play with their whole hearts.

Come visit our School store, The Admiral's Collection. Located in the lobby of the Edward St. John Athletic Center, The Admiral's Collection offers a wide-array of Admirals clothing, spirit gear, and gift items for the whole family.

Situated along the Severn River and close to the Chesapeake Bay, our location offers an opportunity to challenge students to examine, debate, and discuss issues of ecological preservation. The James M. Stine Environmental Center is a nearly 3-acre parcel of land behind Teel Campus where our students make authentic connections with the local ecosystem and experience the benefits that nature brings to our physical and mental health.

Severn School seeks to challenge the thinking of students and educators, to provide a space for exploration and leadership opportunities. Innovative and entrepreneurial ideas don't just happen; they require work and persistence as failure is a part of the process.

Your gift to the Severn Annual Fund makes unique learning opportunities possible. From attracting and retaining the best faculty to providing state-of-the-art resources to support scholarship, innovation and creativity, you — together with hundreds of other parents, alumni, faculty and friends — play a key role in enriching the educational experience for all Severn students.

Our students explore and find purpose. They create and inspire. They dare to fail, they triumph, and seize boundless opportunities. And they do so through your generosity. You bring alive our mission of character, conduct and scholarship for each new generation of students. You make it possible for every Severn student to be an Admiral.
